Former top Houston Astros prospect Jonathan Singleton was suspended 100 games after a third positive drug test. Astros right-hander Dean Deetz was also suspended 80 games after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance.

Singleton, 26, is currently with Double-A Corpus Christi. Singleton tested positive for a drug of abuse, the eighth player to be penalized under the minor league program.

Drafted in the eighth round by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2009 and acquired by the Astros in the Hunter Pence trade in July 2011, Singleton hasn't played in the majors since 2015, when he went 9-for-47 in 19 games. He played 95 games for the Astros in 2014, going 52-for-310 (.168). Baseball America regarded him as the Astros' best prospect by the end of the 2011 season.

So much talent. Such a frickup. I remember seeing him a while back and thinking what a great natural power swing he had.

Dude makes 2 mil a year. Suspended without pay for a 100 games. "Weed should be legal blah blah blah". But the Dude cost himself over a million bucks because he can't grow up and lay off the weed with his career at stake. He'll never see that kind of money again.

Damn, thats 3 Astros within the last year. We need to fire our nutrition guys or something because there's obviously something going around the locker room.

The Astros were so evil for paying him! Someone call Bud Norris!

That's not fair.

Astros have gotten into the Hall for the same offense.

The Cardinals hacked into their computer system again and changed the test results.
